Given a 2D board and a word, find if the word exists in the grid.

The word can be constructed from letters of sequentially adjacent cell, where "adjacent" cells are those horizontally or vertically neighboring. The same letter cell may not be used more than once.

For example,
Given board =

[
  ["ABCE"],
  ["SFCS"],
  ["ADEE"]
]

word =  "ABCCED", -> returns  true,
word =  "SEE", -> returns  true,
word =  "ABCB", -> returns  false.

典型的DFS题目。Coding过程中注意状态的变化以及边界情况。
